LXX Deut. 24
Posted: February 10th, 2025, 12:40 am
Hello everyone! My name is Tim and I am new to this group of members. Nice to meet you all today! I apologize for my first question to this group because it is not a Greek New Testament question but it’s about Greek translation of the Jewish Bible, the Septuagint.
The passage in question is Deuteronomy 24.
1Ἐὰν δὲ τις λάβῃ γυναῖκα καὶ συνοικήσῃ αὐτῇ, καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν μὴ εὕρῃ χάριν ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὅτι εὗρεν ἐν αὐτῇ ἄσχημον πρᾶγμα,
There are two phrases that are riddled to me. What is ….
“χάριν ἐναντίον” and “ἄσχημον πρᾶγμα.” πρᾶγμα I can understand, but the words juxtapose together leave me in the dark. Do you find it strange, maybe signs of an idiom?
Thanks a lot in advance!
